This book is an attempt to comprehend the Ukrainian realities from the point of view of a Ukrainian woman born in the late 1980s, just before the collapse of the Union. Born in a Russian-speaking city, but for whom Ukrainian has become a native language. Who had a good taste of all the fears, complexes and limitations of the empire under Russia, but who studied in the Western world, having traveled dozens of courses and programs in Europe and the United States. The story of a girl who was told that she could not enter the university without a bribe, but she had no money for a bribe and entered. The one who applied for the first Schengen visa, which, living in Kyiv with registration in Kherson, had to be obtained in Donetsk. And which now flies for visa-free travel. The Ukrainian woman who was constantly told "you are a girl", appealing to provincial social standards, and who managed to preserve her individuality in order to later feel equal in the world of men. And in the world of new Ukrainian politics, open and transparent. Where everyone, regardless of status, can change the country for the better. Today, as never before, it is time to create our dream, the dream of every Ukrainian, without shifting the responsibility to someone alone. Because each of us is a country and each of us is its President. About the author: Yulia Volodymyrivna Mendel - journalist, press secretary of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
